Maybe it's not a matter of introducing new fears but of reinforcing old ones and reminding you of them. Everyone's afraid of random unexpected death that's out of their control right? Well most of us on some level at least. So media spends a lot of time reminding us that we could die any moment. Terrorists, natural disasters, wars, car crashes, shootings, all these things that have a low chance of happening to you in particular but that nonetheless happen every day and could happen to you. Or take social exclusion. We all fear being cast out of society. So media keeps reminding us of all these things the cool people are doing that wr arent. Potentially things we can pay to do.
